| FORGIVE YOUR NOSE |

|
Friend, a good sense of self always lives in forgiveness. Therefore it's important to remember
that no matter how you look, or no matter how many times you've performed badly in the past, this
is a new day! And if you will let it, accepting forgiveness and learning to forgive others offers
you the possibility of dealing powerfully with anything undesirable in your past. This is also
applicable in some strange places.
For example, you look in a mirror and you don't like your nose. You must forgive it! It can't help it, and there's little you can do about it. The greatest "nose job" needed is non surgical. It's forgiveness. It's even less expensive. For instance, I'm forgiving myself for losing my hair. What else can I do? Friend, forgive yourself for being short. Forgive yourself for being tall. Forgive yourself if you're too, uh, fat. The truth is, if you'll forgive yourself, you even have a better chance of losing a few kilograms if you so choose. Carl Rogers said, "When we accept ourselves, then we can change." You may have done a poor job as a parent. If so, you must realize, first of all, there are no perfect parents. Second, if you'll forgive yourself, your chances of improving the relationship with your children will increase significantly. One thing is certain: You can't relate to them on the basis of guilt. Forgiveness is one of the foundations that human life rests on. In fact, as George MacDonald wrote, "Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving of life." Everyone needs forgiveness … and everyone needs to forgive. Forgiveness heals. That's hopeful. Would it help if you understood more about where negative emotions like fear, hostility, loneliness and guilt came from? Would it help to know what God has to do with it all? Is He friend or foe? Can these negative emotions be replaced by positive ones like good self-esteem, a sense of being forgiven and belonging, and real peace in your life? Well, because forgiveness relates to who we are and who we really want to be, I invite you to write for a FREE booklet titled "CAN I BE FORGIVEN?" Within the pages of this amazing booklet, you will discover how forgiveness, offered and received, leads to a transforming peace. To receive your copy by return mail, just write to me at P.O.
